The Center for Dominican Studies at Barry University is a collaborative
partnership of the Adrian Dominican Sisters, Barry University, and the
Friars of the Province of St. Martin de Porres. The purpose of the
Center is to build, celebrate, and share the rich and diverse charisms
of the Dominican tradition and to be a place where the enduring
Dominican tradition of contemplata aliis tradere (contemplating and
sharing with others the fruits of that contemplation) is a lived
reality.

Catholic Association of
Teachers of Homiletics
CATH exists to provide a common organization for the study of Catholic homiletics.
As an educational and religious society, CATH serves as a forum for mutual
sharing of scholarship and support which can lead to the professional development
of its members; to underscore the significance of Catholic preaching as a means
of proclaiming the Good News; as a resource to the bishops in their responsibility
for the continuing formation of their priests respective to their duty to preach;
to develop programs in homiletics for the preparation of priests, deacons and
non-ordained ministers; to be a unified movement toward the development of
advanced degree courses in homiletics within Catholic theological schools.

Claretians, Province of Chicago
The Claretians are a Roman Catholic religious community of priests and
brothers dedicated to the mission of living and spreading the Gospel of
Jesus—to serving life—in more than 60 countries on five
continents. The Claretians are dedicated to seeing the world through
the eyes of the poor. They strive to respond to the most urgent and
timely needs, using all means possible to care for the spiritual and
material needs of others. They give special attention to recent
immigrants, youth and families, leadership training, and spiritual
renewal. The Claretians were founded by St. Anthony Claret in Spain in
1849. A man on fire with God’s love, Claret embodied the special
charisms of community, mission, evangelization, and spirituality.

Dominican Eastern Province
Founded in 1805 by Bishop Edward Dominic Fenwick, OP, the Province grew rapidly.
In 1939, it was divided to allow for the Central Province of Saint Albert
the Great. In 1978, Saint Joseph and Saint Albert Provinces were further
subdivided to allow for the Southern Dominican Province of Saint Martin de
Porres. In 1772, Spanish friars had gone to the west which is now the Holy
Name Province. Saint Joseph's Province is the largest of the four provinces
in numbers. In this, the Province of Saint Joseph, the Gospel is preached
and souls are served in 17 Dominican parishes; in Providence College, a liberal
arts college for men and women, located in Providence, Rhode Island; by friars
on the faculties of universities and seminaries, both in the United States
and abroad; by directing retreats at Saint Stephen Priory in Dover, MA, by
hospital chaplains, campus ministers, and by itinerant preachers who travel
from parish to parish giving retreats throughout the country.

Dominican Sisters of Springfield, Illinois
In 1873 six Catholic Sisters were sent to Jacksonville, Illinois from
the Convent of St. Catherine of Sienna, Springfield, Kentucky. They
were women imbued with the Holy Spirit to spread the Word of Jesus
wherever they were sent. Courageously and joyfully they undertook what
was to become a familiar pilgrimage: the move from a secure and
cherished home to a new and unknown place of ministry.

Dominican Sisters of Racine, Wisconsin
Commitment to truth in the light of the Gospel compels us to consecrate
whatever power we have, personally and as community, to sustain the
fundamental right of every person to pursue the fullness of life and to
share in the common good.
Today such a stance demands an explicit
solidarity in prayer, struggle, suffering and hope with those who are
oppressed by systems designed to serve the interests of the wealthy and
advantaged. This perspective governs our every ministry, whether that
ministry is among the economically advantaged or among the economically
poor.
(http://www.racinedominicans.org)
Dominican Southern Province
In order to offset the influence of Radical Fundamentalism, the
Dominicans offer an intellectual Catholic presence at southern
universities. Faced with an inherited social structure and economy, our
province remains committed to promoting social justice - so crucial to
the poor, unemployed and immigrant populations we serve..
(http://www.opsouth.org)
Dominican Western Province
We belong to the international community of Friars Preachers, called by
the Roman Catholic Church to evangelize in the name of Jesus Christ,
especially in the Western United States and in some foreign missions.
In cities and university communities particularly, we manifest special
concern for faith issues, justice, peace, and outreach to those not
touched by the Church’s common ministry. Our distinctive
Dominican charism is nourished by our common life in priories, which
sustains liturgical prayer, encourages simplicity, fosters
contemplative study, and guarantees democratic government.

Franciscan Province of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
We believe that as followers of St. Francis of Assisi we are "Lesser
Brothers" called to be centered in Christ with the Gospel as our Rule
life. We believe that fidelity to our calling is expressed in loyalty
to the mission of Jesus continued in His Church, in a spirit of prayer
and contemplation, with a special love for the poor, and reverence for
all God's creation. We believe that we are called to fraternity, to
share a life of joy and peace, to draw our inspiration from the cross
of Jesus, and to be renewed continually through our celebration of the
Eucharist.

John the Baptist
